R yobi - 12 in. Drill Press (Rating: 5)
Last year I a ryobi 12 in. drill press for $120 dollars. I have to say I am very happy with it and it has not let me down yet. I do recommend buying this 12 in model with changing the speed by hand and not the model with lever controlled speed for 60 dollars. It doesn't take much work to open the cover and change the pulleys.
specifications:
laser
Variable Speed by changing belts
1/4 hp motor
Tilting table
light
Assembly
for the drill press was very simple and I got it done in a hour.
Performance
Very good performance. Drills right through everything.
